It has been a while since I last blogged, but I’ve got to say, it has been a very full week. Last Tuesday Jeff and I were asked to watch a family of five kids while their parents took a trip. It was kind of a last minute thing, and we ended up watching these kids from Thursday afternoon until this evening. So we went from parents of two to parents of seven, with three in diapers. I entered into the adventure with the attitude that no matter how good or bad, easy or hard things were, I knew I could last for six days, and sure enough, I did. It really wasn’t too bad. The older kids were a huge help. My biggest challenge was the dynamic between Rachel and their 2 year old.
Last Saturday we had the opportunity to see Wicked. It was wicked awesome! I had heard such excellent reviews, I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but it did. I loved it. My only regret was that I was not familiar with the music. I feel that I missed some by not understanding the lyrics at times. I’m currently working on remedying the situation by listening to the CD. I’ll be ready for the next time the show comes to Louisville.
Here are some pictures of the girls over the past several weeks. Enjoy.
We got this costume of the little girl lion from Lion King, and Rachel decided to wear it for a while.
Gabi got this awesome huge bear for her birthday. A family who is moving out of our ward was getting rid of it, and it was right before Gabi’s birthday, so it worked out perfectly.
